HEADLIGHT AND NUMBER MARK.

Application filed July 21,

T 0 all 20 from it may concern-.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES W. BAKE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county OI" Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Headlights and NumberMarks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to headlights and particularly to electricheadlights for locomotives. lt has for one object the construction of aheadlight in which there is a large field of illumination with a smallerconcentrically located field of illumination of greater intensity.Another object is the combination with a locomotive headlight casing ofa number marl: which will be readily repaired, changed or removed.invention is illustrated more or less diagrammatically in theaccompanying drawings, wherein Fig. l is a front elevation;

Big, 2 is a section on the line e-z of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of my headlight showing the number markelevated,

Like parts are indicated by like characters throughout.

A is a headlight casing extended rearwardly as at A to provide for themounting oi. the light. A is an annulus titted within the largerdiameter of the casing and finished on its interior with porcelain toserve reflector B is a supporting ring adapted tocarry the plain glass Band to close the front of the headlight,

is a-silvered mirror positioned in the center of the headlight andsecured therein o the ring C which is screwed to main headlight casing,

D is the light source, in this case an incandescent light. E is a numherplate housing substantially rectangular in. shape and pivotallysupported on the headlight casin at by means of the hinge and pin n is arearwardly projecting on the number plate housing in opposition to thelug E of e headlight casing. E is a screw adapted secure the numberplate housing in pcsi incandescent light upon the rearward extension iiof the head- Specification of Letters Patent.

light casing and Within the number plate housing.

Each of the two reflectors may be mane in any desired manner but I havesuggested for the primary or central reflector glass, properly coated onthe outside, and for the second or forward reflector, a porcelain finisheither applied to the casing or fashloned separately and .put inposition on the The primary reflector is the reflector *which givesthe'powerful beam of light and the secondary reflector is the one whichgives the apparent diameter of light and aids in the nearby lightingeffect. The number plate device may be entirely removed by driving outthe pin E and the number plate may be removed and another substitutedwith any convenient device for holding in the glass. In order to changeor repair the number plate, the rear screw connection is loosened andthe number plate housing is raised and tilted forward when the numberplate may be changed or repaired or the incandescent lamp removed orrepaired.

I claim 1. A headlight reflector comprising a casing enclosing primaryand secondary reflecting surfaces, and a source of light therefor, theprimary reflecting surface comprising a reflector oisilvered glass, thesecondary reflecting surface comprising a zone of porcelain applied tothe surface of the casing, the two reflectors together forming a.substantially continuous outwardly flaring reflector,

2. As a new articleot manufacture a head light reflector comprising acasing and a light supported within, a primary reflecting memberdistinct from but supported. within said casing to the rear of saidlight source,

a second reflecting member formed integrallywith the casing in advanceofsaid source of light, the two reflecting members forming asubstantially continuous, substantially parabolic outwardly flaringreflector, the primary reflector being composed of material adapted toreflect light more efficiently than. the secondary reflector 3. As anewarticle of manufacture a head light reflector comprising a casing,primary in secondary reflecting members therein, and a light sourcethere r, the primary fleeting member being distinct from but sup portedwithin the casing, the secondary re fleeting member comprising aporcelain coat two mflmitiiig members .fol'min iii iiy communusaoutwardly flaring reflector,
